Life is incredibly busy lately.
I find this amusing, because we are not even hardly scheduled for any activities this summer. Since I did not know what to expect with Jersey #2's recovery, I did not sign the kids up for much at all. Usually, we are hopping from one activity to the next. Right now, we are home a lot.
So why do I feel so busy?
Sometimes I think I am moving around in slow motion. Compared to the "crisis mode" we have been in for a while, there may be some truth to that feeling.
I'm sure part of it is the extra care-giving duties that I have acquired. Jersey #2 is on medications twice a day, and I have to monitor the progress of her wound healing, and I am always keeping a watchful eye for fever or other signs of infection. I had no idea such observation could be so mentally exhausting.
There are 4 other children to care for, which include a very active toddler, but that should just be normal life, right?
Still, I expected a lot more out of myself by about now. So, I am rather surprised by how busy I feel, how tired I am, and how little appears to be getting done around our home. There are always dishes and laundry piled up. I haven't even had time to blog this week. What have I been doing all day?
I am hoping to get my act together and get more accomplished. Soon.
Maybe I will find time to blog more next week.

You guys have 5 kids... just thinking about that makes me feel busy!
ReplyDelete5 kids, including one busy toddler and one 6 year old recovering from open heart surgery? I don't think "busy" even begins to cover it.
